uhh, YES. He sold me last week with 60 yards and 1 TD. With 100 yards and 3 TDs this week, what are you waiting for? Green and Davenport aren't coming back and I think he successfully beat out Fisher.
While I wouldn't start him over a healthy Tiki or Davis, he would be a great backup for you ... better than A. Smith IMO.

Grab him if he is still available. I am one of the numerous owners who is kicking himself for not taking a waiver wire gamble last week.

I've been bogged down with schoolwork and wasn't able to respond to this as thoroughly as I would have liked a week or two ago. Now, saying what I am going to say is going to seem a bit "after the fact", but not totally and, in any event, now is when I have time to post it. ... While the story of Samkon Gado is surely a GREAT one and the future of Ahman Green is definitely in doubt, Gado is NOT the future at tailback in Green Bay or anywhere in the NFL. I did not see him play last week, but I did see him play the two prior weeks when he "did well." Though he surely got the job done WAY better than you'd expect ANY free-agent rookie running back who was a third-string tailback at division three Liberty University, and whose exposure to American football as a Nigerian had to have come relatively late in the ballgame, so to speak, if you can "(make your) read(s) between the lines", you would have seen a guy who really lacked any "burst" coming out of the backfield/through the hole and who wasn't that tough of an inside runner. He does have good size and GREAT speed for his size, but being a long-term NFL tailback takes much more than those physical gifts. Mind you, he was a great stop-gap pick-up and he might just find his niche in the NFL and even in Green Bay, but don't delude yourself, especially if you are a deep keeper leaguer, into thinking this guy really has a bright fantasy football future.
